Dignity in Diversity

Embrassing Every Person

Enough is Enough

Imagine being a college freshman away from home at college. It is an incredibly emotional time. Then image what it feels like to see your stuffed Teddy Bear taken from your dorm room and lynched in a public display of hate. This is a real story I heard from a student while touring state universities. Enough is Enough. It is time to end campus racism.

The ENOUGH Report

This report details the traumatic experiences of campus hate and harassment on PA State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) campuses and responses from campus administrations.  The report also lists concrete actions to address the attacks on dignity of students. All students on all campuses should be in an environment conducive to learning and free from discrimination. While the report focuses on PASSHE these concerns have been raised at Penn State and private colleges in Pennsylvania.  The time for change is now. We’ve had ENOUGH.

New American Majority

America is become more diverse; racial, socially, and across many identity markers. We must embrace this diversity to prepare the next generation of leaders.

Together we build a more inclusive Pennsylvania

The report was launched by Philadelphia Democratic Senator Art Haywood’s office. The data is not meant to compare Pennsylvania’s black and white populations, but rather show changes over time and address issues at hand.
